Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for managing and importing backup data on mobile communication devices are cumbersome and lack a comprehensive solution, making it difficult for users to efficiently import and manage increasing amounts of personal data due to storage limitations and complex operations.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that classify and import pre-stored backup data from an XML file into a mobile terminal, using specific flows for phone book, short message, and multimedia message data, ensuring data validity and completeness, with the XML file encoded in UTF-8, facilitating easy user management and operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If backup data is imported without classification, then the import process is simple, but data management becomes difficult and operations become complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata managementVSAvoidimport process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the backup data into distinct categories (phone book data, short message data, multimedia message data) and processes each category through separate importing flows. This classification approach simplifies data management by organizing data type-wise while maintaining a structured import process that handles each category systematically through dedicated modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If data validation is performed for each element, then data completeness is ensured, but the import process becomes more time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidimport time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary validation by checking whether the XML file structure is complete before initiating the detailed element-wise importing process. Additionally, during the import process, it validates each data element (such as checking if phone book elements, short message elements, or multimedia message elements are valid) before processing, ensuring data completeness while maintaining efficiency through structured validation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If all data types are imported together, then the import process is fast, but data compatibility and validity cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimport speedVSAvoiddata validity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the import process into separate importing flows for different data types (phone book, short message, multimedia message). Each flow processes its specific data type with dedicated validation rules, ensuring data validity and compatibility for each category while maintaining overall import efficiency through parallel processing capability and structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
